The possibility of implementing an HTML user interface for a stand-alone microcontroller device is tested out. The wireless Wi-Fi ECG monitor is considered as an example. It's shown that the standard HTML-5 and Java-Script features, such as Canvas, Web-Socket and other, are quite enough to build a full-fledged user interface that is not attached to a specific hardware and software platform. Furthermore, any standard device (laptop, tablet, mobile phone, etc.) with a Web-browser can be used as a user terminal. The use of Web-based HTML interface radically simplifies the development of standalone medical applications.

The materiality of interaction - interaction design that moves beyond representation and metaphor to focus on the material manifestations of tangible interaction was explored in the context of tangible interface for intangible heritage. This article explores materialization of intangible heritage through tangible interactions. Some examples were designed for mixed reality exhibition “Archeology of memories and architecture of knowledge” which was shown at the Open days of science in Montenegro in October 2018. A new way of co-creation of knowledge was included, social sculptures, as long as audience was willing to augment themselves in narratives of intangible world heritage.

In the last years, there has been an advancement in technology, thus, new tools have become available for the study of marine sciences. Scientists and engineers have worked together to give a plethora of tools to help in marine sciences, either environment monitoring, statistical data or numeric models. We use different tools in marine sciences, such as ArcGIS for display and manipulation of geospatial data, R for statistical analysis, SPSS for statistical data. The addressed question is which one of these tools is the most suitable for use. This paper explores the most commonly used tools, the advantages and drawbacks of using them as well as their prospective challenges.

The development of information technology has led to the emergence of such a social phenomenon as the information society. The article deals with the problem of the identity of a person who is forced to communicate with his own peers in the realities of the information society. As a philosophical explication of the latter is considered a poststructuralist concept of intertextuality. According to it an individual is a moving fragment of a continuously reproduced hypertext. In such a context semantic unity, treated by philosophical hermeneutics as a necessary condition for the identification of an individual as an understanding being, is an ideological projection. Poststructuralists postulate “natural” dispersion of the primary semantic unity. Henceforth, a person who has got stuck in the intertextual reproduction of communicative space and lost identity, participates in communication only as a producer of a new conceptual meaning. A message sent by such a person remains unanswered, which means the impossibility of communication in the information society. Since communication is an irreducible parameter of human existence, one should speak about an ideological deadlock of the concept of intertextuality and breakdown of an ideological construct of the information society.

In the paper the problem of the emotion recognition from the micro-expressions is considered. The psychological background of this problem from the modern viewpoint is described in short. There are seven universal emotions which are usually could be recognized. The application fields of the emotion recognition are indicated. The most known databases for the facial micro-expression research are highlighted. The state-of-the-art of the micro-expression spotting and recognition methods is given. One of the main preliminary steps before the emotion recognition is investigated more thoroughly. It is the task of searching for the areas of a face and eyes in the image. Two algorithms implemented to solve this task are compared: the algorithm based on the color intensity estimation and the Viola – Jones algorithm. The results for of these algorithms for images of the people with the different skin colors are represented. The advantages and the drawbacks of the considered algorithms are discussed. The survey and experimental research results are proposed to further use in the emotion recognition pipeline.

Motion of heavy loads with hydraulic or electrical drive systems cause oscillations, which reduce the position accuracy and cause wear to the mechanical system. Input shaping of the control input signal can avoid the excitation of the resonant frequency. A common technique is to use a notch-filter that is tuned to suppress this frequency. In this work the possibility to synthesize a notch filter with an all-pass filter is used. Splitting the filter into two parts allows to control two separate inputs of a push/pull system, in the actual case a hydraulic system with individual meter-in and meter-out valves (or separate meter-in/meter-out, SMISMO). An additional design parameter allows to tune for specific property of the drive, in our case avoiding low pressure and reduce the danger of cavitation. Furthermore, it is demonstrated how to replace the all-pass filter with a simple time delay, which enables the processing on a low-cost embedded system without numeric processor. The results are demonstrated in simulation.

The article considers the electronic system of non-destructive buildings and structures condition control. It allows providing the monitoring of structures condition by means of inertial measurement modules. The accumulation of data about linear and angular movement of structural elements is implemented without any reference to satellite signal and is not limited in time. The system is aimed at buildings, bridges, construction cranes, amusement rides, heat, gas, power supply facilities being introduced into service. The application of the system given helps to react fast on destructive changes in a structure, collect data on external influence on operated facilities and monitor their displacement.

In the present study a stress analysis on a deformed footprint was performed in the case when an anatomical customized insole is used and in the case when an anatomical customized insole is not used. For specific deformities of the foot, an anatomical insole is made by using EasyCAD software. Solid models of the foot and insole, which are necessary for creating finite element models, were obtained by scanning the physical objects of the footprint and insole, and by their reconstruction and optimization in Geomagic software. Stress analysis was performed in Catia V5 R21 software for the case of a neutral standing position on the ground. Results show maximum values of the pressures in the medial region of the foot and toe region in the case when an anatomical customized insole is not used. With the use of the customized insole, pressures are significantly reduced, both by size and region.

Common contemporary ECG units are computer-based devices that can be connected to the computer network to enable simultaneous monitoring of several patients in, e.g., intensive care units. Typically, these devices are relatively large, heavy, and powered from the wall socket. As a result, the movement of a patient is limited, even in cases when the patient's physical condition does not bind him/her to the bed. This paper describes proof-of-concept portable device for electrocardiography which can measure three elemental ECG leads, is battery powered and transmits measured data into a central data collection unit via WiFi. Therefore, the patient can leave the bed for a reasonable distance, while the physician can continue monitoring the patient's health condition. It is easy to quickstart usage and mass production of the presented prototype. We have tested the hardware and developed the necessary software. The system is based on ADAS1000 from Analog Devices as an ECG analogue front-end. Measured data are processed by STM32L0 MCU and sent to the data collection unit using the ESP8266 WiFi module.
